Thank you for your message.
It might not be what I was thinking when I joined Debian but over time
it has became clear to me that there's more than just having fun building
the best operating system, though this is still a core motivation
and we should be very cautious to not destroy the fun others are having,
even when when we don't share their opinions.
To all the persons who are going to be disappointed, please follow John's
advice or find a better way to channel your anger into something positive
(either in Debian or somewhere else, it's not a big deal). Don't use it
against other Debian contributors, because you would only contribute
to destroy what we have built together.
Cheers,
